Vargas Stage 2 or Stay Stock?

Hello everyone, I know Chinese and Vargas turbos are fairly highly disregarded on here but wanted to quickly ask for some input. I’ve found a set of Vargas stage 2 turbos locally with 8k miles on them and the guy is saying zero shaft play on them. I know people say to veer away from these cheaper turbos and just save for rb, pure, or single but the guy only wants $600 for the pair. Yall think it may still be worth picking these up and installing them with the possibly of having to maybe pull them again for a rebuild in the future?

My current mods
- twin disk clutch
- catless dp with full exhaust
- fuel it stage 2 lpfp walbro 450
- 7in intercooler
- charge pipe hks bov
- vsrf high flow intakes and inlets

With these current mods, If I were to run port injection and full e85 would I be able to get close to that 600hp mark?

Thanks everyone very much!

Was just a little coolant hose I didn’t clamp on correctly when changing water pump 😂
